Popular Post willofmaine Posted February 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2022 In the Design Development preview video here https://www.vectorworks.net/en-US/architect , we are shown the creation of a new wall style that is dragged & dropped onto the model. The instant that is done, not only are all of the walls using that style immediately updated, but the projections, the penthouse, and the doors and windows also all inherit textures. Later, a window style(?) and a curtain wall wall style are dragged & dropped onto the model, and all of the windows immediately inherit the properties of what I guess is the replacement style, and all of the large glass windows are instantly updated with curtain walls. Then a fence/railing object is dragged onto the penthouse's balcony, where it appears to automatically adopt the width of the balcony. All this for a single drag & drop action that a monkey could do? I can't even get multiple selected walls to be replaced by another wall style when I drag and drop the replacement style, let alone get the entire building to update with textures. So I'm assuming the video represents an extremely and highly compressed process, yes? Or am I just really missing something??? Maybe I need a monkey... 5 Quote Link to comment

Aren’t there rules about showing ‘enhanced performance’ in advertising? Covered as always by some very small print "this will take you 2 hours". All this, and I still can’t get my whites as good as MIRACLE GUFFO should give me - what has my world become?😂 3 Quote Link to comment

Great marketing gets people interested without misinforming them. This kind of marketing misinforms. Worse, it's over-promising and under-delivering. The only good to come of these videos would be if the relevant team at VW took them seriously as a competing UI/UX model. Edited February 3, 2022 by Christiaan 6 Quote Link to comment

Christiaan Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 This is generally the way to do it imo, although they could use a screen recorder instead of directly videoing the screen (to get rid of the pixelation and angle problems): https://download2.vectorworks.net/uploads/web/media/videos/products/architect/commercials/ts/architect_commercial.mp4 Quote Link to comment
